    BrewPal for iPhone- anyone else using it?

    For my first AG brew last weekend I used this little $0.99 app and was extremely happy with it. It calculates strike and sparge volumes and temps, IBU values, provides yeast strain data, and does brix/grav/ABV calculations. There are a few other features, too, but IMO the ones I mentioned...

    I am now an all grain brewer (and junior Macgyver)

    After mooching off the great information on this site for the past year, I finally did my my first all grain batch / equipment fail / crisis aversion all in the same day. Brewed a simple ESB with an 11# grain bill - it was all smooth sailing until it was time to collect the runoff from the...

    My first labels - your thoughts?

    I am hoping to unveil these guys at my 30th birthday party in mid-June, if the brews are ready. First, a little background. I am a graduate student in Molecular and Cellular Biology, so many of my friends and acquaintances are science nerds (like myself). Second, a little history. In...

    Pseudo-lager with Kolsch yeast

    I was just wondering if any of you out there that lack lagering facilities (such as myself) have ever tried pitching Kolsch yeast in wort that would normally be lagered. I have been trying to figure out a way to re-use my kolsch yeast cake, and then I thought, since kolsch yeast has lager...

    Good half volume boil style?

    So I have been waiting patiently for what seems like an eternity for 10gal kettles to be restocked at my LHBS so that I can start foll volume boils. In the meantime, I have been mooching off of the excellent brewing setup of a friend. However, this friend is not around right now and I have a...
